• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

  • Server side Maintenance is done. We still have an update to the forum software to run but that one will have to wait for a better time.

Headwind!

I know I'm not the smoothest pilot, but this was interesting!

 
As Starship showed, takeoff is the easy part.., landings, not so much. :playful: SpaceX showed theirs all the way to the end:redfire:
 
Landing it was actually pretty nice. I floated in with the throttle cracked open just a little and the stall warning going off, but rollout was only a few feet.
